Can Your Genealogy Software Do This? - Series 3: iFamily for Leopard

I posted my latest genealogy software question on 6 July - Can your genealogy software provide a list or report with the ages at death of selected people in your database? Preferably the ancestors of a person, in descending order from most years to fewest years. Or just the top 20 persons, say.

IFamilyForLeopard (for Mac)Used to be IFamilyForTigerSoftware download works on both operating systems.Reports MenuSelect: StatisticsClick: Show Lifespan InfoHere is the information providedNum MalesAve Male Lifespan Males who died under 20 yrs (#)Males who lived over 80 yrs (#)Males who lived over 90 yrs (#)Males who lived over 100 yrs (#)Num Females Ave Female Lifespan Females who died under 20 yrs Females who lived over 80 yrsFemales who lived over 90 yrsFemales who lived over 100 yrsEarliest recorded person with birth/death year Age At Death < year =" %">Age At Death 01 to 10 = % Age At Death 11 to 20 = % Age At Death 21 to 30 = % Age At Death 31 to 40 = % Age At Death 41 to 50 = % Age At Death 51 to 60 = % Age At Death 61 to 70 = % Age At Death 71 to 80 = % Age At Death 81 to 90 = % Age At Death 91 to 100 = % Age At Death 101 to 110 = % (and, providing names and ages)People who lived over 100 years People who lived 90 - 99 yearsPeople who lived 80 to 89 years Within the categories, they're alphabetical (by first name), not chronological. ... I just posted a request for a different sort on their forum board. Updates are frequent.

One advantage to single-developer software: 2.5 hours after my request, the developer announced that in the next release he's added"three sort options for the lifespan info (a) sort by Age at Death, (b) sort by Family Name/First Name and (c) sort by First Name/Family Name. "

My thanks to John for supplying this information about iFamily for Leopard (and Tiger) for our readers with MacIntosh computers.
